Justin screamed out in pain, “Why, Raven? I asked you to wait on me. Why would you do this to me?” I glanced over at him, and I see Luna Cassandra raise her hand to clap him on the face for saying it. He catches her hand and snarls at her, “This was all your family’s fault. Your husband and daughter colluded to set me up. Yea, I fell for it, but I had wanted my mate, I had been waiting for my mate. Reagan reminded me that I couldn’t safely have Raven. Because of you, and Graham. You two allowed your pack to torment and abuse her from a very young age. It is a wonder she is even functioning properly. I swear I will never forgive any of you for it. She is all I can think about, all that I want. I know this is the Goddess’s punishment for me. Raven feels nothing towards me, and yet I cannot let her go.” He releases her wrist and walks briskly away. I know it is because he cannot bear to watch me mark Raven.

I bent my head down to her and licked her marking spot making her shudder in anticipation before I let my canines elongate. I gently moved the thin strap on her dress over with my thumb and she gave a shiver at the brush against her skin. I bit down and felt her blood in my mouth as I accepted her as my own. I licked her wound too, to help it heal faster, and felt my world balance around me. I was calmer than I have been since I became an Alpha. I felt stronger, and more centered than ever before. She was the perfect she-wolf, and I cannot wait to introduce her to my pack. I am so proud of her being my mate, that I want to tell everyone here that she is mine. I turned around and I see heated glares from angry unmated wolves that felt like I stole her away before they even got to meet her. Jealous glances from the unmated she-wolves that wanted to try to get with me. They are all looking in the room, angry at us for sealing our mate bond. I could care less, I have my beautiful mate, and this is truly the highlight of my life. They all turned to leave now, as they have lost their chance with either of us now.

I felt a little bad for Justin though, who wouldn’t? He was led to exactly where they wanted him to be, to accept someone who was nowhere near the level of the girl he had lost. I know exactly how Reagan got him there, I had the same thing happen to me. I too had been led down the same path because of sex. It was a powerful way to control someone. So hard to break away from the one who is doing it, to get you to do whatever it is that they want. I had experienced it firsthand myself. I was only 17, and I had fallen for it completely. I think she loved me too, we were each other’s firsts. Then I heard her with her actual mate. They both broke my heart that day, and I vowed never to be with another until I found my mate.

Liza was the daughter of an Alpha, she was perfect, or so I thought. Long brown hair, smokey grey eyes, and a strong body. She trained hard, and I thought that we would be mates. So much so that I had slept with her two weeks before I turned 18. She had turned 18 the month before and said that although I was not 18 yet, she felt that we were going to be mates. I was thrilled, I was convinced that we were mates. Nothing my parents said could convince me otherwise. Liza was my world, until the day I overheard them in the woods. Axe was pretty stealthy, and I had scented her, so I was going to surprise her in the forest. Only I was the one who got the surprise.

My stomach sank when I discovered that she just wanted to be Luna. He was always with her, protecting her, as she was an Alpha’s daughter. She had two warriors who were her security team, and they were with her almost all the time. They had just had sex and were laying there wrapped in each other’s arms. Happy to be alone together, even for just a short amount of time. I had learned to hide my scent a long time ago, and they never knew I was there. I was just going to leave them alone and go back to the packhouse when I heard what he was asking her.

“Why won’t you let me mark you, Liza, it doesn’t have to be on your neck. I was thinking inside your thigh, somewhere he won’t see it” Merrell asked her.

“Soon. I can’t take the chance right now. Just give me one more week here. I just need my own bank card after we are engaged, and then I can get us the money we need to run away together. I will not reject you like my dad said to do. We can live very well off a million dollars. Buy a nice house and put the rest in savings. We can both get jobs and live in the human city. They will never find us. I just can’t take the chance of dad finding out before we can safely get away. I won’t risk you like that. Dad needs to believe that we rejected each other. It is only for another week, two tops, ok baby?” Liza’s soothing voice trying to calm her mate was hard to hear. She had never spoken so sweetly to me. I knew their plan, and I was done with it. She wasn’t going to be getting a penny from me. They could certainly head out now, to go put their plan into action.

I told my parents when I got back to the packhouse. They had both suspected that something like that was going on between her and Merrell, but it had fallen on deaf ears. I wasn’t going to tell her dad, but I was also not going to allow her to stay at Black Adder and try to keep playing me. When they returned to the packhouse, my dad motioned them toward their SUV which was already packed up, and asked them to leave. We would take the second man back to her pack, I knew that they would have to run away quickly and couldn’t do it with the second warrior present. I believed that Merrell would be willing to kill him to keep him quiet, dad did too, and neither of us felt he deserved that. Her father’s pack was 2 hours away from us, so that would give them a couple of hours head start on her dad.

They were actually grateful for our allowing them to leave like that. Liza wanted to hug me, but I never wanted her to touch me again. I felt dirty from being used like that. I know her dad forced her to come to me, he wanted to have an alliance with our strong pack and he didn’t think that her warrior mate was good enough for her. But she clearly loved him and accepted the bond. I heard that eventually, her dad relented, as Liza was his only heir. The warrior is now the Alpha there at the Falling Water pack. The warrior was pretty strong, and her father was glad that it all worked out. But the clues had been there I just didn’t notice them. Since I didn’t know I thought I was her first, but Merrell was. I was so embarrassed, and angry, after that whole situation. I vowed for it to not happen again. I kept all the she-wolves that let me know that they were good with getting together with me to know that they weren’t my mate. I wouldn’t be getting into a relationship, or anything at all, with them. Most figured it out quickly, and moved on, but not Cheryl. She wanted to just keep it up, day after day, she knew we weren’t true mates. She was just hoping that I would be desperate enough at being 24 years old, to be willing to change my rule for fear that I would never meet my mate. I am so glad I waited.
